History

Since 1969, Sanford Guide has provided health care professionals with comprehensive evidence-based recommendations designed for use at the point of care.

Created by Jay P. Sanford, M.D. in 1969, the Sanford Guide was the outgrowth of a medical grand rounds handout on newer antibacterial agents. While Sanford Guide's content, ubiquity, and delivery platforms have expanded over time, it continues to be edited by a team of leaders in the field, and remains the most trusted name in the treatment of infectious diseases.
